OH SHIT
¡Hola Gamblers!
>>290722345prrprprrr~
>>290722371>Dare you enter my magical realm?
>>290722123Literally me.
>>290722123Is it a requisite to have a superpower to be a top tier gambler?
>>290722325Hello Spanish gambler.
>>290722418The most important thing is the leave things open to assumptions then let the "nutrient" SHYEEEEAAAAHHHH into your "gamble".
>>290722536Everybody is always bullying Caracal
>>290722479>Oh yes, Nim! Of course! I remember that from the "Overly Specific Games No One Plays" Curriculum at Gambler School!
>>290722575Did he took that rock at the gas station?
>>290722605"I see, it's Binary" he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
>>290722627I know it sound stupid but once you know how to read Binary it's really easy to see it used everywhere.If you anons have time i recommend learning to do binary with fingers it really helps with remembering larger numbers
>>290722710Kek at him grabbing his phone to whine at Usogui
>>290722710Are you from the Adeptus Mechanisus?
>>290722627Caracal is actually a pretty smart guy, it gets mentioned earlier in the manga
>>290722710literally me when i try to solve a puzzle in any myst like ever
>>29072272601001001 00100000 01100001 01101101
>>290722800And that's the end of Usogui! Thank you all for reading!
>>290722123Has Baku ever met Caracal? Or even heard his voice? The most Baku-adjacent interaction with Billy was Kyara fighting him as far as I can remember.
>>290722800Why Baku looks like a top model?!
>>290722627binary is not hard
>>290722800Baku lost here btw
>>290722800"Hey buddy you got the wrong door. The leather club, two blocks down."
>>290722371Oh wait that's the guy that Baku and Marco talked to last chapter isn't it? He set up a routine for him to come by every day so he'd have someone tooting a horn around.
>>290722832No, but he would have heard about him through Kyara.Also this is reused in a side story later (which is how I know), but people responding "ore da, ore" is a common scam in Japan where the scammer calls some elderly person and pretends to be a relative in desperate need of money, so this plays on that concept.
>>290722864Why not just literally wait like five pages for the rest to see? Do you really want to spoil that badly?
>>290722397Oh god this game
>>290722874>SPORKSPORKSPORKSPORKSPORKSPORKBaku... focus...
>>290722874I am not fully convinced shooting him would do anything
>>290722874Baku... That's NOT how to handle a shotgun!
>>290722874Misunderstanding desu~
>>290722929That spork has to be ridiculously long to be able to bend it that much
>>290722972Long spork is looooooooooong
>>290722479>At the 1939 New York World's Fair, Westinghouse displayed a machine, the Nimatron, that played nim. From May 11 to October 27, 1940, only a few people were able to beat the machine in that six-month period; if they did, they were presented with a coin that said "Nim Champ". It was also one of the first-ever electronic computerized games.
>>290722999oh fuck yeah, my favorite arc
>>290722999Just noticed something in this page that I didn't catch before
>>290722999Oooh, this arc is pretty fun
>>290722536Billy is a part of the Kure clan?!
>>290723024I agree, that's kind of rude of her to not watch his program.
>>290723024ENTER
>>290722864A gambler who keeps winning... doesn't exist
>>290723095>he doesn't know what happened to Marco
>>290723095Marco the matured...DUE TO RAPE
>>290722623>>290722672Hmm yes I understand this completely (doesn't get it at all).
>>290722839sako used his wife as a model for baku a lot. So if you ever wonder why some characters look extra feminine, it's not just because sako is a flamboyant hair stylist
>>290723095I can understand Marco, mature ladies also made me more mature.
The beginning of the funniest arc
>>290722800Rape mode engaged
>>290723147Coffee creamers gamble is the funniest
>>290722874>shoots shotgun onehanded>wrist breaks>he'd probably miss too
>>290723130Damn, his wife must be quite the beauty. Because Baku is damn handsome!
>>290722929Spork-chan sacrificed herself for Billy-san
>>290723196I mean... he does kinda look like him...
>>290723002Hmm, it seems like a simple enough game that the statement of "who goes first or second, if played perfectly, will be guaranteed to win." Let's think about this... A loss is guaranteed if you hand the opponent 3 sticks or less, while you are guaranteed to win if you hand them 4, following that logic, receiving 5 is also a win, however, if the opponent starts with 5 to 7 sticks, they win, as they can give you 4. That means you need to make sure they don't get 5 to 7 sticks, which means you can't receive 8 sticks or you're guaranteed to lose, 9 to 11 sticks is okay to receive (you give back 8). Receiving 12 is a bust, so that means.. If you go first, you are guaranteed to win by drawing 3.15 => 12, opponent has to give you a range from 11 to 9, either way you give back 8, they give you 7 to 5, you give back 4, they give back 3 to 1, you win. I solved it!
The fact that Billy Craig is one of the few people to have actually beaten Baku in a gamble is hilarious.Also, Baku has 3 onscreen losses, while Kaji only has 2, meaning that Kaji truly is the superior gambler
>>290723042What is it?
>>290723024But it's her program too...

>>290723305heem sleepy

>>290723162Was Gihren the one his own dad compared to Hitler?
>>290723337... AFTER RANKO
>>290723095Marco the DIGNIFIED and MATURE
>>290723301On the TV about a car crash but I'm not sure if its the same one involving Oshima
>>290723361Yuphttps://youtu.be/tlJ5j-hSUmQ?si=Vd4k7Wuz7gM28UJj>My son you are literally hitler>Based! >You fucking retard
>>290723381No it's the same one, Baku mentions it at the end of the chapter.
>>290723147It's a good arc to let off some steam after the two recent intense gambles.
>>290723424Baku, you are such a fucking troll.
>>290723332Who the fuck would do a hit and run and then stop for a media show to interview him?I know it's Kaji setting them up but still from their perspective they don't know that.
>>290723281who'd win, Oshi's suit or Luohan's suit?
>>290723424Baku does a little of tomfoolery
Someone explain the binary Nim game i dont get it
>>290723305Marco the RESTFUL
>>290723381Oh I thought that was obvious enough that I didn't even register it as a detail
>>290723393Baku could definitely pass for an actor
>>290723506Oh no he drank too much didnt he.
>>290723506>>290723534Oh.
Holy thats something you dont wanna wake up to
>>290723552>Well my car is clearly white and red so it can't be the one.
>>290723581Hehehe
>>290723507On my first read I didn't think much of it but now that I'm rereading it I'm starting to notice things before they're get revealed. Can't wait for the tower of karma
>>290723635Fucking hell BakuHe's gonna die of a heart attack before you even set up a gamble
>>290723552That's a Porsche Boxster 986 in case someone wants to know.
Wait does Best Ref appear this early? I always remember him having that blocky art style early on but damn. This reread is making me really forget how condensed it was. >>290723095My son is so cute and nice to older ladies. My dignified little gentleman. >>290723130He's so handsome and his daughter is so adorable too. Truly a blessed family.
>>290723682Every car and watch must be identified!

>>290723682Thanks caranon.
>>290723724SONNA
>>290723724DAMMIT BAKU! NOT AGAIN!
>>290723724Baku is a big liar!
>>290723760Marco the VICTIM
>>290723760Marco the Insurance Scammer
>>290723786I could forgive the rapes and murder, but hit and runs? What is wrong with his dude?
>>290723760Someone would be very happy if a tooth was off the bat.
>>290723603kek, I think this is the smartest reaction one of baku's victims has had so far. just walk away.
>>290723786Kaji's sins keep piling up
>>290723760Marco the Voracious
>>290723760>>290723786Cute role reversal from Kaji here. :')

>>290723682I thought that was a 911 996.
>>290723865It's like our own exclusive club...where we can do all kinds of naughty things....
>>290723865It's Usogui tradition
>>290723865You'll get it later.
>>290723891We can call it club kekero
>>290723803The worse thing about it is the hypocrisy.
>>290723916I would say the worst thing about it was the hit and run of that poor innocent woman, but you do you!
>>290723910Kekarooo
>>290723916Kek
>>290723873No, the back of the 911 is like a long hill.
>>290723949Looking a little Kyara there, my boy.>>290723891wait, wait so I can Midara ryona/rape post when the time comes????

>>290724119This seems like the absolute worst way you could handle this.
>>290723965Osshii looks so deflated
>>290723949Why is Marco looking at me?
>>290724077That might be the most predatory that Baku has ever looked
>>290724157He knows what you did in that dentist's office
>>290724157Because my son knows a good anon when he sees one.
>>290724186OHHH NOOOTHE DOUBLE PLAY

>>290724734The point is that we get to see more based referees
>>290724734Yakou-san is busy gooning
>>290724734minor spoiler iirc yakou is busy doing shit for him behind the scenes to prepare for the next gamble

>>290724846¡Gracias OP!
>>290724846Thanks OP. Have you planned a gamble for today? If not (or even if you did), I challenge anons to win a game of nim!https://www.archimedes-lab.org/game_nim/play_nim_game.htmlCheating tip: run two instances of the game and have the AI fight itself, one of them has to win

>>290724600>>290724866Most Usogui characters do.I know because i was reading during a flight next to my mother and she asked me if i was reading a comic about about vampires. She also thought that Kyara shitting on yakou's coffee was rude,
>>290724989It was rude
>>290724933
>>290725051Mii-chan would never wear this
>>290723424oh boy Baku is blackmailing this guy to hijack his show? I wonder what tomfoolery he plans to use it for.
>>290723786>Rape>Murder>Hit and RunsKaji what the fuck is wrong you?
>>290724625My husband has just had world rocked after showing him this because he thought it was something only he could do. He says its drawn exacy how he does it and he's losing it.>>290724771Is that what they call coffee brewing nowadays?>>290724989You know, I have a very unsorted fanart collection on my phone and in certain thumbnails I can't tell if its Midara or my main husbando who is vampire-adjacent (he's a walking pale daunt corpse.)

>>290725393bro what the fuck you ruined it
>he spoiled the sex gamble
>>290725393Anon noooooo!!!
>>290725437THE ONE WHO DECIDES WHO CUMSIS ME
>>290723112>>290723496Think about the following.2 Persons enter a Room and see 10 doors and all of them have keys inside them.To complete the room all the keys have to be turned.You are allowed to turn how many keys you like except 0 (you have to turn at least one)Whoever turns the last key wins.Now what do you think would be the smartest move if you wanna win in your turn and start first, exactly turn all the keys at once because if you do less then 10 then your opponent will turn the rest and win.Now what if we add another Room with doors as well which will be unlocked if the first room is finished.Same rules as before but with one difference. You are only allowed to turn all keys in one room at a time and if you do that Person 2 will turn all keys of the doors in the other room and win as he turned the last key.Now with NIM.Room A and Room B both only have 1 door in them and because Anon is smart he knows whoever goes first loses as the other one will get the chance to turn the key in Room B, because like we understood last time Room B only unlocks after Room A is completed. The Strategy of Nim is You want to force your opponent into a position where there are two rooms left, each with exactly 1 Door. Why? Because from there, they're stuck and can only turn 1 key.And Binary helps.Take the number of doors in each Room and write them as binary (So 3, 5, 3 becomes 11, 101, 11 like in the manga) Add these numbers together (11 + 101 + 11 = 123) If all of the column totals are even on your turn, then you are in a losing position, because whatever move you make, your opponent can make a move that returns all the column totals to even.Here a Example.Room 1 has 2 doorsRoom 2 has 2 doorsRoom 3 has 2 doorsSo lets say Person 1 turn 2 keys in Room 1 then its 0 2 2, Person 2 will turn 1 key in Room 2 so its 0 1 2, now Person 1 has turn the 1 key because he have no choice so it’s 0 0 2. Person 2 will win Room 3 and the game because he turned the last key
>>290725660Now for the manga.The rooms were like this:3 (0 1 1)5 (1 0 1)3 (0 1 1) 1 2 3But because Caracal turned the first 3 on the first floor we have.5 (1 0 1)3 (0 1 1) 1 1 2Baku turned 2 keys from the room with 5 keys, changing it from 5 to 3. This made the column totals all even3 (0 1 1)3 (0 1 1) 2 2 because if you start with even, you lose as we saw before.That's how i understood it, someone correct me if its wrong
>>290725659The one who's capable of the biggest nut in this room....IS ME
>>290725660>>290725700>me picrel
>>290725739To make it short you dont wanna start NIM if you're first and the columns are even
>>290725659until mom shows up
>>290725800OH! Now I understand! (I don't)
>>290725848Anon-san...
>>290725848Marco...
>>290723760I want to imagine it wasn't even faked and Marco just tanked a car and Baku decided to roll with it for one of his gambles.
>>290725848Kaji…
>>290725848>Marco enters a gamble...
>>290725848Anon is... Good of heart!
>>290725203>My husbandGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
>>290722511No curiosity, no amusement, no wish to prove himself. Despite instantly understanding Baku's intentions, he calls him just to make sure in order to avoid engaging with the game if at all possible. I will always love how Sako wrote Caracal, a guy who has the mental power to tussle with all the big brained gamblers of the series, but has zero interest in gambling or engaging in mind games for its own sake.
>>290725841Manabe and Mitaka are my favorite referrees. I love the poses she does.
>>290726534Well..he hates gambling after all
>>290722294What a totally inconspicuous door that would not gather any sort of attention for being odd or out of place.
>>290726534Yeah Carcal's great but I always felt like Lalo was kind of a letdown.
>>290725935>>290725963>>290725999>>290726147>>290726193¡OH COME ON! ¡I'M NOT TOTALLY AN IDIOT! ¡MERDIA!
>>290724674I hope he isn't as terrible of a ref as the hair retard
>>290726700He doesn't feel as threatening as he should in Protoporos, I feel like Sako got a little too ambitious with that arc even though it has some of the best moments in the entire manga. But he's amazing in Air Poker.
>>290726709... With a really bad temper!
>>290722345Is Billy self-glazing thinking the only reason Kyara isn't there is because Billy wounded him so badly?
>>290727316I think he's supposing that something happened that day as it's when Usogui had his latest big gamble.
>>290727316Yeah, maybe a little. He wasn't doing too bad until he got his ass beat by Jonglyo
>>290722999 This might not be a real gamble, but boy was it great
>>290722734>It was like he was looking at talking garbage
>>290726534If there's one thing billy understands it's that gambling is for retards and lunatics
>>290727851Gamblers... Are we lunatic retards?
>>290722874So this is why Baku kept Karl around?
>>290723923>Body searching a man who can snap you in half as easily as a TF2 player cracks open a bear with his bare handsI mean, if that's your job, then it's nice to feel useful I suppose.
>>290724210Kaji's getting better.
>>290724412It was a few volumes ago now, but new readers should note that the leader of Ideal in Billy's flashback was also playing a DS. This is critical foreshadowing that leads up to the gamble later on that you've probably heard of before (as it's famous even among non anime/manga enjoyers), that takes place entirely within PictoChat. You're in for some good shit.
>>290724691I was about to make this exact post right down to the placement of the spoiler and the use of caps lock, so I'm glad I checked the replies first.
>>290727998Marco wouldn't do shit until Baku orders him
>>290727998I mean, imagine having to deal with a guy who can both crack open a bear with his bare hands AND has a gun
>>290727998I imagine most normal people aren't aware of these freaks and what they can do, so they think a gun is the most dangerous thing someone can have.
>>290728277This, Kaji is the real psycho they have to worry about
>>290728459Even Billy respects the power of GUN

Who wins, the first player or the second player?The answer is the second player. because no matter what they do, say, go to 1F and activate 2 keys, the second player can do the exact same thing in the other floor, in the example, going to 2F and activating 2 keys there. The result is that both floors end with 2 keys remaining. So basically, the second player can always keep both floors with the same amount of keys. So they can just keep repeating this, and eventually the first player will be forced to turn the last key in one of the floors, at which point the second player can claim the win by turning the last key in the other one.For this to work, both floors must have the same amount of keys. If the amount differs, the situation is reversed: the first player wins. Why? Because in their first turn they can make the amount of keys on both floors equal, and apply the same strategy as before.You can generalize this strategy to any amount of rooms, except it gets more complicated. The strategy is what Billy says, which is, convert the key amounts of each floor in binary, add them up digit by digit and make it so all the digit sums give an even result. Basically, if you have amounts of keys in each floor that DON'T satisfy that, meaning, the sum doesn't give you even for some digit sum, it's always possible to make a move that makes every digit sum even again. So you have a similar dynamic to the 2 floor case, where the first player breaks the 'evenness' and then the second player fixes it, and they keep repeating, until the second player wins.That said, in this general case of many rooms, what the correct move isn't trivial! And Billy doesn't explain it. But that's where binary comes in handy.At any rate, it's an unnecesary explanation, because once he turned all keys in the first floor it was the simple two floor case, no need to calculate any binary there.
>>290722123Why does baku look so much like a lesbian kek
>>290726700>>290726796Lalo was fucked the second his arc got sandwiched between Suteguma and Oyakata-sama. It's not his fault, he is a 9/10 antagonist flanked on both sides by 10/10 antagonists.
>>290728920I think he's just using binary to estimate because he's assuming the amount of keys on each floor varies, so he's going>Okay, as long as it's NOT three keys, there should be a game here that I can play if I follow this set of rules.
>>290723340You mean Oshima?
>>290722371So that's the tofu guy.
>>290722800Is there any doujins of bakugetting raped and sissified?
>>290729566How much more of a twink do you need him to be dude
>>290722800Why is he sitting like that?
>>290723281 its funny that this guy is basically the talkshow version of saul goodman
>>290722929Motherfucker's bringing a fucking spork around.

>>290724650Such a disgusting person, spitting everywhere like this
>>290724210Oh shit, Kaji is getting sharper!
>>290724412Seriously though, if you walked to a TV station with the Epstein file, will they broadcast it?
>>290730537Nah,CIA will help you kill yourself by 2 bullet on the back
>>290730537LolLmao even
>>290724625>>290724650ENEMY STAND?!
>>290730306Kaji might be a monster, but even he would never sink so low as to build a building without a permit.
>>290724846Thanks OP.
Could Baku expose Epstein?
>>290724846thanks op.
I can make bubble with my spit and put it on my tongue like the new referee, but I can't make it fly away like he did. What the hell did he eat/drink to be able to make such durable spit bubbles?
>>290730931soap, of course
>>290730955Damn, I knew it, that fucking cheater!
>>290722972It was cold outside before
>>290722999ENTERI think this is my best arc, even though it's a very small arc
>>290723402 I like how it basically becomes a race to the bottom for everyone
>>290724650ENTER MY MOST FAVORITE KAKEROU
>>290731911same
>>290724846Thanks OP>Maybe even the hostKek
>>290724444Quads of death... Baku stop raising death flags like that.
>>290724846Thanke OP. The real gamble of gambles starts tomorrow
The host looks like a fun character. I liked that Usogui had a bunch of interesting characters. Kaiji and Akagi were kinda lacking on the department. The side characters are just NPC, to prop and react to the MC's keikaku.
>>290722479last year at marienbad ass game
>>290723248Billy Craig being the invicible antagonist to Baku invincible protagonist is great.
>>290733832Shame that he got jobbed against Marco. I really want to have gamble match between Baku and him
>>290730537>will they broadcast it?Ha, no. Everyone is connected at certain level and I mean everyone.
>>290724650He's good, but Kadokura? The greatest
>>290724650i love the refs
>>290734317Incorrect. Like so incorrect it's not even funny. Lying is a sin, anon. Its Sunday too. How could you.
>>290734018He basically killed Marco. He got to be as threatning as possible while rejecting the themes of faith in others and willingness to bet your life that Usogui runs on. No other antagonist really feels as dangerous as he was to Baku and Marco.
>>290724813Kaji the RAPIST will repent for his crimes
>>290722710I feel like something has been lost in the translation on this page.In the previous panel, Billy appears to chuckle "huff", but in the large panel that follows, he shouts "Uck."In other words, the scene is designed to mislead the reader with that smile before he suddenly screams "Fuck."
I really appreciate Caracal being a smart capable gambler himself and not just some braindead goon. Rereading makes me believe he should’ve been the main leader of ideal. He’s like a lesser version of Leader in terms of capabilities
>>290735179I though his super mode gimmick was contrived and made even less sense than usual with how its never explained how his body withstands him using his muscles at their peak performance and given the difference in strength between someone with and without hysterical strength he should have been tearing Marco apart like cardboard.
>>290722078Cool cover.
>>290722123>>290722155lol
>>290722177“If you are near the enemy, make him believe you are far from him.If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near.”― Sun-Tzu (unironically)Billy is so cool because he's an intelligence agent and assassin in one.
>>290722243>>290722266Awesome shots.
>>290722907Baku sent tofu guy a mail >>290722177
>>290725316lol
>>290722397With the puzzle and setting, it reminds me of Silent Hill.
>>290723002That's awesome.
>>290722627>caracal suddenly looks a lot more racist>"ahem">"binary"
>>290735803Aha, nice.
>>290722818>>290722846I really like these pages for two reasons. One, a perceptive person like Caracal can see past Usogui's charming facade and reallize that he is genuinely super dangerous. I feel like the manga gets more interesting if you keep that perspective in mind when reading.Second, the bottom right panels of the second page with Billy's mouth and hand showing Billy's dual role as tactician and assassin perfectly. He even starts doubting his initial plan, thinking he might not be able to catch this knife and should just kill Baku before he can become a threat to Ideal.
>>290736807Incredible, is it? He has superman syndrome and everything!
>>290722874AA-12 again.>>290724642Yep.
>>290722929That's so awesome. I love Billy.
>>290723024That's kind of prohibitive...
>>290722999This is a fun arc.>>290723026>>290731911Oh, I did not expect to see people call it their favorite. In my experience it's the least discussed arc so I assumed people kind of forgot about it.
>>290723095Baku the dad.
>>290723147It might be yeah.>>290723402True.
>>290723162Oshiken takes advantage of the new female talent? How scandalous.
>>290730049Huh, you're right.>>290723248He's awesome.
>>290737414It’s because this arcis a set up for tower of karma
>>290723305Wonder what Baku is thinking about.
>>290723393I like how Oshiken pretends to recognize Baku.
>>290723424lol.
>>290723581lol
>>290723552That must feel terrible.
>>290723552>>290723682Thanks car anon.

>>290723865Ohh now I get it. Man :;(

>>290724846Thx OP
>>290737333>I feel like the manga gets more interesting if you keep that perspective in mind when reading.100%Point of view bias is fundamental in Usogui
>>290724899I won (after reading the site's guide...)
>>290724989Because the characters are pale, thin and pretty?
>>290725700>>290725660Thanks.>>290725800If it's last take wins, right? And opposite if it's last take loses.
>>290726534Yeah, he's all about the mission (tho he doesn't mind if he has to twist a few extra necks along the way). Maybe he likes spaghetti cause you have to twist it to eat it, ohhhhh
>>290737635Spoiler that shit man, parapletic women could be in the thread.
>>290733004>Usogui had a bunch of interesting charactersIt really does.
>>290737524Maybe so.
>>290738150Impossible, there are no women here.
>>290737227Kek
>>290729348I was referring to Mii-chan, but I guess it works for Oshima as well
>>290738202I think there is at least 2 women in this thread, but that's not important.
>>290739792I can't comprehend the scale of this image and the reflection of what I assume is a tablet and not a comically large phone doesn't help.
>>290739972It's... Open to interpretation.
>>290738950Post more stinky gamers to scare them off!>>290739792LANKY
>>290740993I think we should rape them then murder them then rape the corpses while they're still warm.
wtf is bakus plan? why is he gathering all of these people? who is his gay childhood friend and where he is he?holy fuck its so hard to resist the urge to just read ahead. this manga is insanely good. btw labyrinth game had some insanely disturbing imagery. amako being a pathetic bootlicker once the mask fell and minowa just cannibalizing him were scary af
>>290742199It's so cool to see first-timers who get it. Yeah Minowa even had Baku seriously disturbed.
>>290742018Kaji what the fuck?
>>290740993"stinky gamers" that's a spoiler anon
>>290735079>Its Sunday too. How could you.Don't you worry, like any good Catholic I know two things, Mass is obligatory and Kadokura is the greatest
3 hours 30 minutes from "now", get your "timing" right, my fellow "me". Over and out, me.
“It” only happens in june or december. Would’ve been fkn rad.
>>290746232>off by 1 secondTch... What a shitty "timing", you shitty "green"...
>>290745983Did you just get out of your false mass, papist? Makes sense since you like that shitty false-delinquent, your rubrics are looser and weaker than his pomp on a good day. Tch! >>290746232Kengan posting keeps appearing everywhere now, I saw "someone" post "it" in the /sfg/ too. I'm being haunted by Sandro's bullshit.
>>290746612>your rubrics are looser and weaker than his pomp on a good day.The Church—the first and true one—is like a good pompadour: tall enough for everyone to see, and resting on the shoulders of those who are taller than mere mortals. Maybe it’s time for you, as a true gamer—and not just another player—to turn up the difficulty.
>>290746451I just announced to the "whole world" that I am a "timingless shitter"...>>290746612More and more "me's" are getting "initiated" or "forcibly" getting dragged into the "covenant". Soon the "ripple" will "spread" even further into the "seven seas". You are also being "initiated" right now, "me".
>>290737414personally it's my favorite because I like the game show hosts
Whenever the Private Funeral Division is not on screen, everyone should be asking, "Where is the Private Funeral Division"?
>>290746612>/sfg/Midara would NEVER play SF6. I bet he's a Soul Calibur 2 fiend.
>>290748480And when the Private Funeral Dvision is on screen other characters should comment on how cool that name is.
>>290746945Anglicans have faced harder challenges, a harder start and worse equipment to remind you prideful, idolatrous bastards of your place!. The first church is shared between the bonds between brothers and sisters, you mutated it into clericalism and opulence, you crawl up your hair and hide in it's aesthetics. That pagan worshipping of the dead you do will be your downfall.>>290748648Buwahahaha! I meant spaceflight general! >SpoilerTrue! I grew up with that myself, actually, I guess it was a British thing.

Have we decided who’s the most handsome between Leader, Baku, Kaji, and Marco? I say Leader>>>>Kaji>Baku>Marco
>>290750632https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L-RieVXfHw
>>290750038And all princes must fall to dust.>>290750632Marco > Kaji > Leader > BakuMarco has incredible cute-strong energy that makes him very handsome and he retains consistently a type of gap moe. Also, muscles. Without going into the Baki levels. I don't really care for long hair shoujo men in my older age, so Baku kinda falls off for me nowadays. Early Baku looks too cunty to be handsome. It invokes disgust.
>>290750632Marco when he's serious >>>> Leader (forma de gooner imagination) > Hot Usogui > Leader > Hot Kaji > Regular Usogui > Regular Marco > Regular Kaji
The art has come a long way, though it was never bad
